Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium pumpkin 2-2,5 pounds. Around 1 kg.
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 can cooked white beans. 200 grams net weight.
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable broth powder
  • 1 teaspoon white miso paste or salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mixed herbs or thyme and basil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 cups water or as needed

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling your butternut squash. Cut the ends off. Remove the seeds with a spoon or knife. (you can save them and roast them if you like) If you dont have a good peeler you can slice your squash and then cut the skin away.
  • Cut your squash to equal size pieces and put them in your pot.
  • Peel your onion and garlic cloves. Slice your onion in four and add the onions in the pot.
  • Cover with water and add in the vegetable broth powder. Boil for 20 minutes.
  • Try with a fork that your squashes are soft. Remove 1-2 cups of the boil water, but save it for a while.
  • Rinse your beans and add them in the pot. Use a hand mixer to puree your soup. Aldo a blender works if it tolerates heat.
  • After blending add some of the saved water if your soup feels too dense.
  • Add in the spices and bring your soup to a boil while mixing it. If you want to add additional creamer like coconut milk, you can do it in this stage.
